Suffolk wills

[ribbo39]

Hi Lola5,

I believe the majority, if not all, of the original registers are held in the Suffolk Records Office in Ipswich.

I have not had any success in finding the marriage of James Shepherd to a Mary Barber in Suffolk - possibly they married in another county.

So far as burials I have found these which may not be the correct ones but are included for ref;
16-9-1876 James Sheppard 84 Leiston - St.Margaret
1-5-1836     "        Shepherd 74    "                   "
2-4-1818      "               "         23 Fressingfield - Sts.Peter & Paul

Lola5,

Just found this marriage;
27-12-1814 James Shepherd - m - Mary Barber in Leiston with Sizewell.
Taken from the Suffolk FHS marriage CD.

Thank you Alan, v good of you to give me so much of your time.
I had the marriage..  in Leiston.thanks .from the Suffolk cd  of marriages.


It must be in one of the boxes or I gave it away.

Easter or Eashaugh is intriguing.

BUT why did James and Mary never have a Hannah?
Ancestry always has name as Sheppard. It is Shepherd on Henry.s marriage cert to Emily.
Henry was James and Mary,s son and my  GT GT grandad.
Then there was, James, Mary,Adam, Tryphena, Susan, Elizabeth and a Daniel and William but
No Hannah.  No Augusta either but Emily had an Augusta.
Thank you again.
The James you found must be mine...and now I have his parents names.
Very grateful...no more record office visits as rarely go out of house.

Hi Lola5,
BUT why did James and Mary never have a Hannah?.

They did and 2 other children;

Henry Shepherd bapt. 13-6-1819 Leiston, St.Margaret (s/o James & Mary - late Barber
Maria          "         "      11-4-1830       "                  "        d/o      "            "
Hannah      "        "       19-4-1835       "                  "          "        "            "

I could not see any others. Do these help?

Alan

[Lola5]

Yes Alan. That helps enormously. Thank you.
I had  all the others  except Hannah.
You finding James was the icing on the cake and any extras are the candles.
As for Easter or Easthaugh they go back a long way in Norfolk and Suffolk .and loads of Hannahs.
 
 I was always sceptical about the Fressingfield Shepherds being mine.
John and Susanna, Shepherd (of Fressingfield)  had James born 1793 died aged 23 and their  James of 1791 and 1792 died as infants.  So they couldn't,t be mine yet  there are trees on ancestry that have my people on ....and they are all wrong.

Hi Lola5, 

I have just read all this thread and am so happy for you that you have found your people. 
These Rootschatters are just to brilliant at what they do.

But I could not help laughing, reading your last post and the comment re all  the wrong trees .....
 I have exactly the same issue and problem and it  is useless trying to do anything about it . 

Cheers and have a lovely day.

Thank you essnell,
I am glad you are happy...happy is good.


Wasn't that a good thing   Alan finding James.. after all these years.
I am so amazed at how kind folk are on here and  give their time to help.
They have always helped me... A lovely lady found my Welsh house and later I was able to find  it's history.
I have remembered it all my life.
And K Garrod and and Haenes talu helped with the Irish ones

Wasn't it lucky too that I deleted all the Feveryear , Rous etc lines before it went to Ron at genealogy printers.. incidentally  he was fantastic and  went over and above to help me. Daughter was delighted.
 As was I. And price was very very  reasonable.
So thank you all.

Hi Lola5,
In case you're interested there are several Hannah Easter baptisms in Suffolk, of various spellings, but the ones that stand out are;
19-4-1767 d/o Robert & Ann  Easter      Theberton - St.Peter
16-4-1769   "                  Anne    "                  "                "

Other variations  includes bapts. for;
Elizabeth 13-5-1761 d/o Robert & Ann Eastaugh
Robert     11-9-1763 s/o      "            "          "
John        12-5-1771 s/o Robert & Anne Easter

all in Theberton - St.Peter

[Lola5]

Thank you Alan,
Yes very interested.
All noted down gratefully.

 I was looking for a  Hannah Easter or Easthaugh all yesterday and this morning but no luck.  Didn't think to look for Ann.
Dialect makes a difference....!

Ancestry, the genealogist etc.family search...Theberton folk very thin on the ground..
